Hi,
i deactivated in the setting the thumnail size 0 x 420
when i upload a image in exactly 696×420 pixel – it uploads the original image example.png and ALSO creates a image in 696×420. In this case i have two times the same image in the upload folder. One time with example.jpg and the second one wiht example-696×420.jpg
1.How can i avoid the creation of the second image?
2.How can i call the default image in the modul.(i tried td_696x0 – works fine – it pics up the example-696×420.jpg image) – but how can i call the default full uploaded image (example.jpg) ?
Thank you
I guess you could disable that size from the theme admin panel?
I think it does that because default image format for WP is jpeg not png. And png-8 files are typically color limited vs a jpeg which has a full color range (WP assumes you’re using photos not line art or logo graphics).
Always best to use jpg for photos unless you’re doing transparent effects (png-24).
Presumably you could also go into the main functions file (not the one in the theme root but the one in the includes or booster folder if memory serves) and remove the action hook to build that size and remove the option from the theme panel entirely.
So, if you use jpg to begin with it won’t make a duplicate, was my point, I suppose 🙂
Hello,
You can also create your own thumb if you wish and add it in the specific module code. You can follow this topic to see how it can be done:

I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hi, thx for the link to the topic.
But i try to reduce the number of images in my upload folder. Any idea – how to use the default uploaded image and avoid the creation of the same image in the same size? I think this would be very usefull – not only for me
best
Hello,
The theme only creates thumbnails for the dimensions found in the theme panel->thumbs on modules and blocks: http://screencast.com/t/9UIOF8eyZjb
In this menu, please only tick the options you want for the thumbs that you use and then use the “force regenerate” plugin as it will delete all the other thumbnails and leave only the newly created ones.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
hi bogdan – again. Please upload a image in 696×420 pixel. You will see that the theme is creating another image… this is my Problem. I tested it with looking into the upload folder… The other things are clear…
Hello,
Well if there is a thumbnail that size, it will be created. And since there is: http://screencast.com/t/Rdzvh1vN, then the thumb will be created. you can try to upload an image of 695×420 then the thumbnail will no longer be created, or you can simply disable the thumbnail from the theme panel. The theme will create thumbnails if they are selected from the theme panel and if your image has = or bigger dimensions.
Thanks.
